New Delhi, Feb. 26 -- The Chicago Bears are signalling a potential overhaul on defense as they gear up for the 2026 offseason. In a surprising development, the team has granted veteran linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to explore trade options.

According to a report by the Chicago Tribune, "The Bears have granted permission for LB Tremaine Edmunds to seek a trade. He is under contract for the '26 season at $15M."

This move highlights the Chicago Bears' focus on roster flexibility and salary cap management under general manager Ryan Poles. With franchise quarterback Caleb Williams approaching a massive second contract, shedding high-cost veterans like Tremaine Edmunds makes strategic sense.
